Both yoga and aromatherapy have been around for thousands of years and were once commonly used together to bring increased harmony to the mind, body and spirit. We all know the soothing smell of lavender, the uplifting scent of lemon, or the sweet and earthy fragrance of frankincense. In this Yoga-Aroma class we begin to experience an added dimension to our practice, where senses are awakened, the body discovers increased balance and the prana within plants ignites the prana within ourselves. In this workshop we will learn how essential oils can be added to our yoga practice and to our lives to enhance mood, health, and wellness. We will spend some time experimenting with different oils and demonstrate how they may be incorporated into all phases of our practice and, if practicing with a partner, how you can assist in deepening Savasana with "aroma touch."

We will begin with a brief introduction to essential oils, followed by an aroma- enhanced slow and gentle yoga class, and finish with an extended Savasana. We will conclude with discussion and further exploration of oils and their uses.

All (from first time students to regular yogis) are welcome to explore the expansive possibilities that essential oils offer and how you can begin to add another dimension to your life and to your yoga practice.
